Summer Writing Programme

Join me for a self-paced summer writing programme to support you through writing in hard times. The course focuses on ten weeks of writing prompts, accompanied by a weekly co-writing call, and supported through three group coaching sessions for the cohort. The live calls are all recorded and sent to you if you can’t attend.
This programme is for you if:
- You are writing about a hard topic
- You are writing in challenging circumstances
- You want to write to process hard things
The course is primarily designed for people who are already writing (memoirists, authors, researchers, PhD candidates) and the prompts reflect that, but anybody is welcome.

Our first five weeks together cover: getting started; cognitions about writing; life mapping our writing; meeting our parts; and making meaning.
In the second half of the programme we focus more on content: compassion; the vulnerable observer; holding space; silence; and finally, carrying on.
All live calls are recorded for those who can’t or prefer not to attend. You have until a month after the conclusion of the programme to watch all the sessions. The prompts are yours to keep and reuse to continue your writing journey.
Cost:
- Just the course: £125
- Course PLUS a 90 minute personal coaching session with me: £200
I try to keep costs as low as possible whilst still reflecting the value of the offering, as I want my courses to be accessible in challenging times.
How to join:
Nothing simpler! Just hit the button below to register your details and pay. You’ll get an email from me confirming (it might take up to 24 hours for that to arrive) and another the week before the course starts in July.
